Habitat: Understory tree typically mixed with other hardwoods; often in bottomlands and along streams, but not limited to these areas; growing east of the Great Plains; widely planted as an ornamental.

I am unaware of any mushrooms exclusively associated with eastern redbud. Since the tree occurs as an understory tree in a wide variety of eastern forests, however, many mushrooms should be expected in its vicinity. Morel hunters often expect yellow morels when eastern redbud is in bloom.
